What Dekura does
Dekura GmbH is a Germany-based PVC recycling company operating two production facilities in Höxter and Bad Schmiedeberg with approximately 120 employees. The company converts post-consumer PVC windows, roller shutters, and production cut-offs from window manufacturers into high-quality recyclates, including hard PVC regranulates (anthracite, white, and multicolor grades), PVC milling goods, and fine milling goods. The recycled material undergoes a multi-stage processing workflow including melt filtration through 200μm and 1000μm sieves to deliver consistent, quality-assured output. A CO2 footprint analysis verified by the myclimate foundation shows Dekura's PVC recyclate production generates 233 kg CO2e per ton, compared to approximately 1,997 kg CO2e per ton for primary PVC — representing up to 88% CO2 reduction.
The company operates a multi-stage PVC recycling process with specialized material preparation and processing equipment across its two locations. Core product offerings include Hart PVC Regranulat in three color grades (anthrazit, weiss, bunt), Hart PVC Mahlgut bunt, and Hart PVC Feinmahlgut abgesiebt. The company also provides four standardized container systems (Normalbox at ~2.0 m³, Sonderbox at ~2.2 m³, Kleinbox at ~1.0 m³, and Gleitabrollcontainer GAK at ~43.0 m³) for on-site material collection, and offers contract toll processing (Lohnaufbereitung) services for customer-provided PVC materials. An online customer portal (Dekura Kundenportal) supports order processing and product configuration.
Dekura generates revenue through three primary streams: sales of PVC recyclates (one-time transactions), toll processing services, and waste collection/managed services. The company serves three horizontal segments: window manufacturers and PVC profile producers (primary), installation companies and carpenters (primary), and disposal companies. Notable long-term customers include Rüschen GmbH & Co. KG (10-year partnership recycling over 25,456 tons), Vonovia, LEG-Immobiliengruppe, B&O Bau NRW, and Rehau, whose window profile extrusion plant in Wittmund uses Dekura's recyclates. The go-to-market combines direct sales with account managers, an in-house logistics fleet of IVECO S-Way trucks, and channel partnerships through the Rewindo network, which connects approximately 80% of German plastic window system manufacturers. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed.

Dekura competitors and assessment
Company assessmentOthers
- Rewindo GmbH: Rewindo is the industry-owned coordination body that connects ~80% of German plastic window manufacturers with recyclers like Dekura. Included as a strategic ecosystem participant, not a direct recycler, but its rules govern Dekura's access to feedstock and customers.
Emerging players
- Nehlsen AG: Nehlsen is a German full-service waste management and recycling company that, since 2023, operates Rewindo collection points feeding PVC recyclers including Dekura. Comparable as a partner and as a broader-scale waste management operator with potential to internalize PVC recycling.
- Gealan Fenster-Systeme GmbH: Gealan is a German-based PVC window systems manufacturer (part of the VEKA group) with active sustainability and recycling initiatives. Comparable as a regional customer/competitor in the rigid PVC window recyclate market.
Direct peers
- Profine GmbH (Kömmerling): Profine is one of Europe's largest PVC window profile producers (Kömmerling, KBE, Trocal) with in-house recycling operations feeding its own extrusion lines. Comparable as a vertically integrated PVC profile-and-recyclate player overlapping Dekura's feedstock and offtake market.
- Deceuninck NV: Belgian-headquartered PVC window systems manufacturer with established recycling operations and a focus on recycled-content profiles. Comparable as a competing source of post-consumer PVC recyclate and as a competing buyer profile OEM in the same Rewindo/Recovinyl ecosystem.
- VEKA Umwelttechnik: VEKA Umwelttechnik is a German PVC window recycler and member of the Rewindo network, operating sister facility to VEKA's profile extrusion business. Directly comparable: same rigid-PVC regranulate output, same Rewindo/Recovinyl ecosystem, same window-OEM customer base.
Broad incumbents
- Salamander Industrie-Produkte GmbH: Salamander is a German PVC window profile manufacturer participating in Rewindo recycling programs. Comparable as an adjacent system house whose scrap generation and recyclate demand overlap with Dekura's market.
- Aluplast GmbH: Aluplast is a major German PVC window system manufacturer with its own recycling efforts and active in the Rewindo network. Comparable as both a potential customer for Dekura's recyclates and as a competing integrated recycler.
- Rehau Industries SE & Co. KG: Rehau is a major polymer-based systems provider (windows, industrial, furniture) that both sources recyclate from Dekura and operates its own circularity programs. Overlaps with Dekura as a customer and as a competing integrated player in PVC window value chains.
- Schüco International KG: Schüco is a leading European window/façade systems company running its own recycling program (Schüco Recycling) for aluminum and PVC. Comparable as a competing customer-facing window systems brand that internalizes part of the recycling loop Dekura serves.
